@gobigorgohome I was looking forward to the improvement I would see after TKR. I have a doctor friend who tried to persuade me to not have it done though, and that cast doubt in my mind. Thankfully it turned out great. I was limited in how far I could walk before and now I can walk for miles.
Sure, initially there is pain and discomfort and you do have to work a lot at PT, but it will be worth it. Do make sure you do your PT at home on the days you don't have a session. That's important.
